Jet Airways
Bangalore-Delhi sector
Dt. 21/3/2016,
Flight No: 9W 820
Seat No: 10C

I reached Bangalore , right in time, as there is a new guidelines, for reporting to airport 120 minutes, prior to the departure. The Bangalore airport is a huge one. Jet Airways ground staff has large no of personals , as there are more than 12 fully operational check in counters, to facilitate the passengers.

Check in was quick. Staff at the Bangalore airport , is probably one of the best. Boarding was on time and was through aero bridge. Aircraft was very clean and the entire crew was in attendance. They started attending to the guests, even before the plane door closed, like giving water etc.

The flight was smooth and entire crew was excellent. The cabin crew incharge, Ms. Priyanka was superb and is a role model, on how to interact with passengers and taking care of their comfort. Food was good, needs some improvement.

Overall a great flying experience.

Singapore Airlines A 380

Singapore Airlines

Delhi-Singapore-Delhi sector

A 380 experience

I have been reviewing many airlines and many sectors but got the opportunity to first time experience on Air Bus A 380, the biggest passenger airliner in the world. It has suites; cabins; business; first class; premium economy and economy class.

I had the option, of choosing any type of flying options, but I chose Economy class bcoz, it is the place the review exact status of in flight services and other parameters of the airlines. In Singapore Airlines economy class has the wide seats, comfortable leg space and excellent video screen. The cabin crew , was the epitome of the great hospitality and first class in flight services, truly awarded the best in flight services.

From the check in counters at Delhi and Changi airports, to the boarding of the aircraft and the landing, was pitch perfect. My fellow passengers were eager to taste various wines and other drinks, were met with and food was tasty, keeping in view the Indian and international likings. But dear readers, one thing you can’t avoid and that is the DELAY IN FLIGHT DUE TO LATE ARRIVAL OF THE AIRCRAFT . I think, this has been a regular excuse for the airlines, to cover their non adherence to the schedule arrivals/ departures. My flight SQ 403 to Singapore, got delayed by more than one hour.

One journey is not enough to check all the services of the huge A 380 plance, however, I will sure will present the in flight review of business/ first/ suites of this Singapore Airlines.

JET Airways Mumbai-Delhi

JET Airways
Mumbai-Delhi sector review
Flight No: 9W 357 . Dt: 22/3/2016
Seat No: 19D

Dear travelers , good news that JET Airways is flying from Mumbai, from newly opened swanky new terminal, at par with international standards. Hugh terminal, with great amenities and a feel goof factor. Congrats to AAI.
In this new terminal, JET Airways has no. of terminals and open offices for various department of the airlines, necessary to be present for the passengers need; requirement; facilitation etc.

The check in was smooth, perfect example of facilitating passengers, in time and with a warmth smile . Security clearance was done in no time. There were two monitors for baggage check. One for the security personal and other was for the benefit of passengers, so that see for themselves, what is in their baggage. Great innovation.

Flight was in time. Boarding was complete in no time and it was on time. The cabin crew led by Ms. Yasmeen. The crew was doing their duty , as per the aviation standards but somehow smile and warmth was missing, as if there are some hints of lethargy. Food good, Each passenger was attended properly. Captain was interacting regularly. Perfect

But in this report I want to thank, the entire Guest Relations department , of JET AIRWAYS, at the Mumbai Terminal 2, for their world class services extended to passengers,, is truly amazing. They are the truly an asset for the JET Airways .

Team ACBA has decided to confer the “Best Guest Relations Award” to the Jet Airways-Mumbai. Congratulations. (The details of the award ceremony, will be shared soon)

Special thanks to:
Ms. Dipali,
Ms. Rosy,
and Ms. Harsha Pathare, Manager-Guest Relations.

The counters of JET airways, at Delhi airport, were jam packed and were long queue of passengers, waiting for their boarding cards and check in services. Within few minutes , each and every passenger was attended to, with utmost professional manner and ease. The ground staff at the Delhi airport was professional; cordial and were making sure that no passenger was attended properly, check in was quick and the staff at these counters were superb, included the porters also.

After the smooth check in getting the boarding pass, got the bad news of flight delauy , due “TECHNICAL REASONS”. The flight got eventually took off , right after 2 hours of delay and many of the passengers were lamenting about it.

The cabin crew led Cabin supervisor Mr. Ateet, was at its best to welcome each and every passengers, along with entire crew. Each cabin crew member was cordial and was helping passengers by directing them to their respective seats and also helping them in stowing their luggage in the overhead compartment. In flight service was good. Food service very efficient and food quality excellent. Tea/ Coffee were piping hot. Great.
The entire staff JET Airways, at the IGIA airport was superb; extremely professional and were feeling pride in helping passengers.

Hyderabad Airport: The scene at the check in counters was friendly and lively. The ground staff were attending the passengers with ease and with professional expertise. One of the best ground staff. Helping passengers, with request for wheel chairs; special assistance and also allotting seats as per their preferences, keeping in view the permissible seating plan. They were properly guiding passengers about the boarding time; gate etc.

As soon I entered the plane, greeted by Mr. Vijay Raghvan, cabin crew supervisor, again with most infectious smile. Not only me , he along with entire crew was very good and perfect example of “How to greet passengers”. Smooth flight; great food; piping hot tea and what else you want.

Spicejet Pune-Delhi

Spicejet
Pune-Delhi sector
Flight No: SG 184, Dt. 26/2/2016
Seat No: 1D

As you are aware that I have covered many airlines and reviewed many sectors and above all observed staff of each airlines , very closely, right from the porter to the Station manager and the cabin crew and up to the staff at the arrival destination, guiding passengers for the baggage claim. During this review of Pune-Delhi sector, one person who stand out with his impeccable service and helpful attitude towards passengers, is Mr. Santosh, the Duty manager at the Pune airport. What a great asset to the Spicejet. The people like him are upholding the flag high of SpiceJet.

The staff at the check in counters were quick; helpful and despite some long queue, were great. Need to mention one lady from Spicejet security/ surveillance team. She was keeping an eye on each and every passenger was perfect example of commitment towards the assigned job. Before the boarding gate , there was great rush of passengers as 3 flights of spicejet were about to board. Despite all this pressure and great rush Mr. Santosh , stood out as the brilliant manager. Congratulations to the management and him.

On time boarding and passengers were guided to their seats with warmth smile and helpful attitude. The Cabin crew again led Ms. Bhumika. Who is brilliant and exudes confidence and with no nonsense attitude. Great work.

Spicejet Delhi- Pune

Spicejet
Delhi- Pune sector
Flight No: SG 181, Dt. 25/2/2016
Seat No: 5D

After covering and reviewing various sectors of various airlines, this is the time to review various sectors of Spicejet. The management of Spicejet should be applauded for providing excellent air services to the passengers, through its wide connectivity all across and selected routes , abroad. During my interaction with airlines staff, I realized that each employee is contributing, whole heartedly , and feel proud to be associated with ever growing Spicejet.

The staff at the check in counters was very quick and . They were attending to all passengers well and the duty manger , was personally supervising the whole operations with great calm and ease, taking due care of parents with young children and aged persons. The flight was delayed by 2 hours due to some technical problem at Ahmedabad. And obviously there was some complaints from passengers . Anyways the staff at the check in counters and gates were helpful enough to tell about the reasons, for the delay.

During the entire flight, the cabin crew was superb and classic example of interacting with passengers. The each passenger was attended to and food service was good ; quick and spot on. The cabin crew was ably led Ms. Bhumika. She was taking care of the passengers and also helping other crew members, in discharging their duties. She really deserve an international posting.

Overall a great experience
